Two sides who could do well with all three points square off in round 42 of the EFL Championship as Preston North End play host to Huddersfield Town on Tuesday.
The Terriers find themselves just one point above the relegation zone and will be looking to surge out of the doldrums while the hosts continue their late push for a promotion playoff spot.
Preston North End were guilty of a lack of cutting edge at the attacking end of the pitch last Saturday when they played out a goalless draw with Watford at Vicarage Road.
This followed a somewhat disappointing 1-0 loss to Birmingham City at the St. Andrew's Stadium on April 1 which saw their run of two back-to-back victories come to an end.
With 60 points from 40 matches, Preston North End are currently 10th in the Championship table, seven points adrift of the playoff places.
Huddersfield Town, on the other hand, picked up three huge points in their quest for survival as they edged out Millwall 1-0 at the weekend.
Before that, the Terriers were on a six-game winless run, picking up just three points from a possible 18 since the start of March.
With 43 points from 21 matches, Huddersfield Town are currently 21st in the league standings, just one point above the dotted line.
